Anything you did that you think is great…put it on here. Can basically be anything.

I’ll start with an immaculate grid for football …I usually get a 5 or 6 and my lowest total was 166. Today, I got a 9/9 and my score totaled 9

You mean anything we did in 2023 that was great? Or anything we’ve done great so far in 2024?

I think this is supposed to be a running thread for 2024.

I promise to not make this thread “a daily Ironman92 doing average stuff” but this is my favorite thing to have at Reds games and I tried to copy it for lunch….completely nailed it! Maybe it’s not difficult but I surprised myself with how good it was and so similar. Barbecue sauce put it over the top.

Wife and I hit 24 years on Jan 1st. Yes, our wedding was on Y2K (Jan 1 2000).


Why is this extraordinary? I have convinced a woman to stay with me for 24 years and counting.

Off topic but I’ve been doing the basketball immaculate grid. My problem is I’m terrible with remembering names. I got 7/9 today but could have got 8/9 with a better strategy. Also, do you want to guess more uncommon answers?

Keep doing what you're doing and more if you can. 33 and done for me.

In basketball and football I think uncommon for a short time but try to just get as many as possible….on baseball I go rare with my 80’s back up guys and stars of the 1900’s-1960…..if dumb categories I just go for 9/9. I get 9/9 most days but sometimes my going for it causes a miss. I’ve scored a total of (2) 2x lol

Yours looks WAY better. The meat isn’t too soggy. Reds used too much bbq in the cooking process.

Sorry man. Don’t hear about many divorces that far in. Hopefully just a natural growing apart for you both and nothing more/major.

I’m not a fan of anything “messy”….it’s hit or miss lately at Reds games but the first 3 or 4x I got this box it was perfection. Their fries were better, I need to use a more potato-e fry 😁.  I used the Rally’s fries and air fried them. They are solid on their own but for this I need a bit thicker fry.

Took my wife to a Duke basketball game last night. I’m not a fan, but it was awesome to watch a game at Cameron Indoor.

Have a couple trips planned this year but we’re going to Niagara Falls for a family reunion in July which I’ve been to many times in my life as that’s where my parents are from. My dad is actually a big Bills fan. 

We’re stopping in Pittsburgh on the way there for a couple days. The hotel I booked is walking distance to Heinz field. It actually looks like a nice area but it’ll still feel like enemy territory.

Pittsburgh is way way nicer than I ever thought. Everything between Heinz and PNC is good.

Primanti Bros is not for me either

I love Stack’d on Forbes on campus but tons of choices between the stadiums

My 2024 highlight thus far: I went to Kroger and got a box of Golden Grahams
